  • Is it agender tho if you change ur body via sex hormones

    Gender isn’t your hormones, so I don’t see any reason why the two would be incompatible (if they are, I guess me and a lot of others are doing something wrong). Some cis men take estrogen because they prefer having a more feminine body, but like being men, for example. I’ve seen other agender people who also have used cross-natal-sex hormones.

    Also, there’s labels like librafem, which is considered part of the agender spectrum and demigirl which can be part girl part agender (or other NB gender). Not particularly a fan of micro-labels myself because of how useless they are outside of niche communities (like, say an agender subreddit), but I do like learning of the different ways people try to describe themselves.

      Yea,

      I think I would genuinely rather have labels that are useful and structurally sound but obscure, rather than squeezing my being into a silly box that people can recognise. Maybe people who cannot grasp it simply do not deserve to know…

      • Fair. I rather just use generic umbrella terms for the and maybe append “-spec” to the end to make it clearer I’m using it as an umbrella term. Partly because uncertainty, but partly because a bigger umbrella gives more wiggle room to move around. But like, I could also just say something like “transfem agender” to communicate the same idea as “librafem”, but one more people can sorta guess the meaning from the two words that make it up (even if they think its somehow a contradiction) and the other might make people think I’m a fem who is really into astrology.
